called the fiscal cliff. treasury secretary tim geithner gave house republicans new ideas on resolving the fiscal cliff. and left with their anger ringing throughout the capitol. >> no substantive progress has been made in the talks between the white house and the house over the last two weeks. i've got to tell you, i'm disappointed. >> reporter: here are the big white house numbers. for $4 trillion deficit reduction in ten years, $1.6 trillion comes from households earning more than $250,000 a year. $400 billion in entitlement cuts in program like medicare and medicaid and $50 billion in new spending next year for inf infrastructu infrastructure. there's another idea. a permanent cease fire on raising the debt ceiling now $16 trillion that would allow it to rise automatically. republicans use the debt ceiling last year to extract spending cuts and they don't want to give up that leverage. >> there's a lot of things i've wanted in my life but almost all of them had a price tag attached

to them. and if we're going to talk about the debt limit in this, there's going to be some price tag associated with it. >> reporter: the white house still seat tchlsiethes over las fight and doesn't want a replay. >> to ensure that the united states of america pays its bills and does not default for the first time in its history is deeply irresponsible. >> reporter: the more both sides talk, the more complications they discover. the white house says nothing will move forward until republicans agree to raise taxes on the wealthy and cope them where they are for the middle class. in a couple of hours, the president will be in suburban philadelphia to talk about just that. >> major garrett, thanks. bob schieffer, host of "face the nation" joins us now. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> you're in washington. help us make some sense out of this and tell us when they'll be able to reach a deal. >> these things are like little plays, you know.

you have act one and then you have act two. act one, we had both sides saying this is really serious and we've got to do something. now we see act two where the two sides are sort of laying out their positions. but so far, nothing has really happened. and nothing is going to happen, charlie, until they start talking to each other. so far, they're talking past each other. the president is talking to people. they're trying to build up pressure on the other side. republicans are talking to the public. once they get to talking to each other, we may find some progress. but we're not to that act. this play is still in progress. i think in the end they'll finally find something where they can get a start on this. but so far it hasn't happened. it just makes me wonder sometimes, charlie, has both sides forgotten how to negotiate? i mean, you know, they used to say lyndon johnson had the name and the phone number of every

member of congress scotch taped to his desk. and beside each name was what that person might need. we haven't heard of any of that kind of thing going on now. people are putting out tweets and all that sort of thing. i think if the old-fashioned close the doors, ask each other what you need and then start to work from there. so far we haven't seen that. >> bob, it seems like we're having a replay of the last showdown where there are negotiations back and forth, but at the heart of this is a lack of trust from both sides. because earlier this week, we had the speaker, john boehner, saying that he was optimistic. now he's saying no substantial progress has been made. it seems like the two sides don't trust each other. and the republicans were angry that there weren't some real cuts on the line. >> well, you know, i think you're right. but, i mean, i think this time is a replay of the last time. and i think the last time was a row play of the time before that. i mean, these things just go on

and on and on. they are not really negotiating yet. this deal will be done when it's done. and until then not much has happened. this is all show. this is all talking. they're not down to the heart of it yet. >> what about those people who say let the fiscal cliff happen? go over the cliff and see what happens and what political advantage we can gain from that? >> i can't imagine -- i can't imagine when it finally gets down to it that rational people would let that happen. i mean, to throw the country into a recession, which you almost would certainly have. to have these draco nian cuts. you would have cuts in the defense department, charlie, for example. they can't cut programs so they have to cut maintenance. they have to cut -- you know,

you can't buy gas for the airplanes. that sort of thing. surely, surely we have not sent people to washington who would be willing to let that sort of thing happen. i can't imagine that it will happen in the end. >> bob schieffer, thank you very much. as we mentioned, bob will interview treasury secretary geithner, congressman mike rogers and dianne feinstein sund sunday. to identify one of the winners who will split a record $588 million jackpot. the other winning ticket sold in arizona might be in the hands of a man in maryland. dean reynolds is in chicago. de dean, good morning. >> good morning, norah. as you say the official winners have not yet been announced. one lucky ticket holder may have been captured on tape at the very moment that he realized he had hit the jackpot.

surveillance video captured the man as he casually walked into a maryland gas station thursday. he digs into his pocket and pulls out what seems to be a wad of lottery tickets before checking to see if he's a winner. seconds later he pumps his fists, claiming had his ticket, which he bought in arizona, is indeed a winner. he shows it off to a store clerk who said it matched all six numbers. >> he couldn't believe it. he was ecstatic, wanted everybody to look, to check to see if he wasn't seeing things. he wasn't seeing things. >> then he turns to other customers who take a closer look. >> i heard him say he won. and he gave me the ticket. did i really win? and there was the arizona ticket with the winning numbers on it. >> just as quickly as he entered, he was gone. lottery officials haven't yet named a winner in arizona all we know is that the lucky ticket was purchased at the four sons food store in fountain hill. >> of course, we're very thrilled that a player of the

arizona lottery is one of only two winners in the united states. >> reporter: arizona's winner will have to share the record $588 million jackpot with someone who purchased their ticket a thousand miles away at an unassuming truck stop in the town of dearborn, missouri. >> yes, we sold the winner. >> employees were buzzing about the news thursday. >> this machine would have been the one that did it. >> reporter: according to cbs affiliate kc tv, mark hill may be the local resident but officials haven't confirmed that. hill's son claims his dad has the winning ticket. >> i'm very happy for him. he has worked very hard in his life and he won't have to anymore. >> just being close to something so valuable is quite a thrill. >> it's just awesome that one of us could have touched that ticket, you know. that's what makes it so awesome. >> reporter: now arizona's winner has until may 27th to

claim his fortune. and lottery officials say that whoever it is should sign the ticket, keep it safe, contact them and probably a very good financial adviser. charlie and norah? >> dean reynolds, thank you. u.n. general assembly voted 138-9 yesterday to recognize palestine as an independent state. didt does not make them a full u.n. member but does provide them with recognition. it is a setback for israel and the united states. margaret brennan joins us to tell us why the u.s. voted no. >> reporter: good morning to you, charlie, and to norah. israeli government says it gives palestinians a state without ending the conflict. u.n. recognition makes the west bank and gaza strip part of the palestinian state not defeated territory. without negotiating the borders

of one with israel. here is the problem. negotiation negotiations are in a standstill. as we saw last week violent extremists like hamas are gaining influence. palestinian authority, which rejects violence, recognizes israel, is losing influence and patience. last week secretary clinton c s successfully negotiated the cease fire but wasn't able to persuade palestinian president mahmoud abbas to drop this bid. >> margaret, are there consequences for the united states and iz role for this vote? >> reporter: potentially. the concern is that congress could cut off funds to the palestinian authority. the u.s. gave about $495 million in aid last year, which helped keep that peaceful government in power. the state department says that money needs to continue. benjamin netanyahu faces re-election in january says this vote is meaningless. threatening to withhold tax

funds. he says he is willing to begin peace negotiations. >> egypt's parliament, dominated by conservative muslims approved a new constitution early this morning. the assembly's more moderate members are crying foul. it is sparking another day of protests against president mohamed morsi. morsi's supporters plan to stage a massive demonstration tomorrow. holly williams is in cairo and has been watching this whole crisis unfold. >> reporter: a week after president mohamed morsi gave himself broad new powers that some egyptians say make him a dictator in all but name his islamist allies have rushed to finish a final draft of the country's constitution. it could now be put to a referendum before the end of the year. protests and violent clashes in cities across egypt, president morsi defended his power grab last night on egyptian state tv. he said his new authority is needed to guide egypt through

its democratic transition and that he will give up his expanded powers once the country has a new constitution. a final draft of the constitution is now complete, written and voted on by a panel dominated by president's morsi's political allies, neither all of them islamists. the constitution gives islamic sharia law a more specific role in government and doesn't guarantee women's equality. it also empowers the state to defend morals and values. critics like human rights lawyer say that could be used to curtail freedom of expression. >> egyptian society originally there were six or eight women and maybe half of them, out of 100, have resigned. >> president morsi's opponents are planning another big demonstration today on tahrir square in central cairo. mr. morsi is make iing a politi

worse. >> reporter: here is why californians are worried. it's not a single storm but a one, two, three punch. increasing the danger for atmospheric river that can stretch for thousands of miles. in this case, the river is feeding additional rainfall to the storms, making them even stronger as they hit the coast. when all is said and done parts of california could get up to 15" of rain. >> how much water are we actually talking about? >> in a normal november and december sacramento might see on average maybe six inches of rain total. we'll likely get more of that inin the next few days. >> reporter: pg & e workers trimmed trees as the storm approached. >> you get this wind this early on in the season. a lot of the leaves are still on the trees, as we can see here. acts like sails and can even bring healthy trees down into

something, do it 100% or don't do it at all. i think that's why he walked in that store and said give me the best boots you got. >> what's next for officer deprimo? >> he said he has only been on the job three years. i asked him that, too, and he said i want to go to emergency service unit. that's really the s.w.a.t. and rescue team of the nypd. for someone who likes to help people that's probably the ultimate place to be. when a person needs help, they call police. when the police need help they call the emsu. i know so many cops who have done things like this that just aren't captured. it's nice to see a story like this get out. because all the other ones do. >> john miller, thank you so much. continental airlines is off the hook for a deadly accident that led to the end of the concord. we'll ask peter greenberg why a court overturned that manslaughter conviction.

the concord was the ultimate in international travel for more than 30 years. that supersonic age ended in 2003 after one of the concords crashed. two years ago, a french court found continental airlines criminally responsible for that tragedy, but as mark strassmann reports, that ruling has just been thrown out. >> reporter: by the time the air france concord lifted off from paris, its left wing was already on fire. it was july 25th, 2000. 109 passengers and crew had only minutes to live. the plane crashed into a hotel, killing four more people on the ground. turns out a 16-inch metal strip lying on the runway brought down the concord. >> when the concord went over it, it hit the tire to a point where it then exploded.

parts of the tire then went up into the fuel tank like shrapnel. >> reporter: the flying debris exploded the concord's fuel tanks. the metal piece that triggered the accident had fallen off a continental dc-10 and had been mistakenly installed by a continental mechanic. >> this was an accident. why the french courts got involved and tried to make a criminal case out of this, i will never understand. >> reporter: french courts held continental airlines criminally responsible and convicted its mechanic of manslaughter. but now a french appeals court has overturned that ruling, saying the mistake made by the continental mechanic did not amount to a crime. the concord itself had safety design flaws with its landing category and wings, issues known before the crash. its fuel tanks also had too little protection against flying debris. the french appeals court said political pressure had kept the concord flying too long. >> accidents are never one thing.

they're actual ly a chain of events. >> reporter: the air france crash also killed the era of supersonic commercial air travel. in 2003, the entire concord fleet was retired. for "cbs this morning," mark strassmann, atlanta. >> cbs news travel editor peter greenberg has been reporting on this story for years. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah. >> what do you make of this ruling? >> no dispute of the fact that the con nenlt airlines mechanic dropped that piece of metal and no dispute that the concord hit it. there has always been overwhelming evidence that there were other factors involved. for example, this particular plane was overweight, overloaded. its center of gravity was affected. it was overfueled. there were multiple cases of complete tire disintegrations over the history of the concord that never had been fixed. it was missing a key component part of its landing gear on the nose. they didn't find that until two days after a crash in a hangar. and then there were two other

factors, norah. right before this plane pushed back from gate -- already running an hour and a half late. he was informed by the tower that the wind velocity suddenly changed. it was now a tail wind. he ignored it and said he was going to take off in a tail wind. no pilot does that. as mark strassmann reported, when that wing caught fire and they got in the air, when the fire warning lights, they reached over and shut down that engine. when that plane crashed into the hotel, supersonic concord was traveling at only 74 miles an hour. >> yesterday's ruling also found that the concord had been left in service for too long due to political pressure. do you think it was ready to fly? >> reporter: well, no plane is too old to fly as long as it's properly maintained. number of safety features could have been implemented that were available to be implemented that were not done. it's not about age of a plane but maintenance.

maintenance does come into question this this case. >> peter, were all these factors present during the trial? >> reporter: they were. that's the key part of this. the french investigators chose to ignore one key

anen i and then i've got to mention this. a new survey just came out. it shows almost 70% of married women would choose sleeping over sex with their husband. when i told my wife this, she said i don't understand the distinction. >> he's funny. in golf they say you drive for show, but you putt for dough. when the pros have millions at stake it's no surprise that some golfers will take any advantage they can on the green. as manuel ba who cuss reports, one method is now declared out of bounds. >> with this putt, keegan bradley cemented his place in

golf history. >> age ma or champion. >> but his putt, more specifically his putting style also stirred a long simmering debate in golf, what constitutes a legal putting stroke. this week the united states golf association, the sports governing body took up the issue, laying out a rule change that would define proper technique. under the proposed rule, golfers would be prohibited from using their bodies as an anchor point like this. like any other club, the putter would have to spring freely under control of only the arms and hands. >> players are starting to use this more and more. >> reporter: thomas payingal is in charge of rules for the usga. his concern is preserving the way the game has traditionally been played. >> for 600 years, gripping the club with two hands, freely swinging the club and controlling the club throughout the swing.

>> reporter: on the pga tour this year, roughly 15% of players used anchored putters, that's up 6% from 2006 to 2010. three of the last five winners used the technique. >> a lot of people feel it will drive golfers from the game. i don't think having to move the club an inch or two from your body would do that. >> reporter: it white house on the prohibit the use of extended-length put terse, only how they're used. that makes little difference from mark cokewell whose family-owned business in tampa has made these putters. >> we've already seen our sales drop off 40% just on the rumor that the usga was going the make a rule change. >> the putters were first used in the pros in the late '80s. cokewell said had he known they would have become obsolete, he wouldn't have invested his life's saving.

>> it's a big hit, a big disappointment. >> reporter: he says he'll fight to overcome the handicap and stay in the game. >> we're not going to give up. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," manuel va who cass, tampa, florida. >> the host of feherty on the golf channel, david feherty. >> good morning, charlie and gayle. >> gayle is in south africa, but norah is here. >> good morning to her any way. >> another irish woman here to say hello, david. >> what do you think of this ruling, do you agree with it? >> you know -- first of all, it's not a ruling. it's a declaration of possible intent or probable cause -- i don't know what it is. but it's like listening to the fleas argue about who owns the dog. charlie, it's -- this is about the least important golfers on the planet, the likes of phil

mickelson and tiger woods and adam scott and whatever -- half the players using the long putter at the min rut so young that they might actually grow into it. it could be a short putter, but the time they get tall enough. we're lucky to live in a country i think where this is considered important. but these are -- >> i love talking to you about this david, you put it in right perspective for me. you help me understand -- >> you're the important golfer, charlie, because you're really bad at it. but you watch and pay for the 30-second spots. i'm with the pga of america on this one where we missed the boat on changing this rule. if we wanted to change it, it should have been done a long time ago. the same thing as slowing the ball down. jack nickel son said, i think the ball is going too fast.

>> i love the notion that it was the royal and ancient. the title of the group is impressive for me. >> oh, absolutely. it was originally the company of edinburough golfers who wore red coats. you remember the red coats? the ones we escaped from? we are the only professional sport, charlie, that allows the amateur body to make rules for our game. that's where i have the problem. we need to stand up as an organization -- what we need is a global golf czar, if you like, for professional golf. i'm volunteering. >> since there aren't enough rules in golf -- we need more rules in golf. david, your personal view about belly putters, what's your personal view about them? >> first of all, i think you should have to have a belly in order to use one. if you're thin, you shouldn't qualify. it always looked wrong.

it was never right for professional golf. but for amateur golf where we're trying to grow the game and trying to make it more popular, easier for kids, this is a very difficult game. there's all this talk for a long time about equipment making the game easier. it doesn't look any easier to me. the hole hasn't gotten any bigger. the average amateur player still finds it very frustrating. anything that helps them get the ball into the hole and helps them enjoy the game more can't be a bad thing. for professional golf -- >> i've been playing golf for about ten years. but the head on the driver keeps getting a lot bigger i've noticed. >> yes. it certainly does. it's made the game a great deal easier. go back and find one of your old wooden drivers in the garage and try to hit it. wow, what a difference. >> have you ever used one, david? i did actually toward the end of my career. i used one in the final major championship that i ever played

in, the '96 open championship in which i led the qualifying and missed the cup. so mixed feelings about it. >> this was before you stopped drinking, wasn't it? >> yes, it was. >> david, the side burns are looking sharp this morning. good to see you. thanks for coming on. >> norah, i have been in hiding since football season started. i don't even know how you got my number. until this morning, i looked like howard hughes without the money. >> david feherty, thank you. >> thank you. and 40 years ago a convicted killer took off in a hijacked plane and disappeared. 48 hours have been digging into this case of murder, ran some and radical politics. we'll have a preview ahead on "cbs this morning." digging into this case of murder, ransom, and politics. we'll have a preview ahead on cbs "this morning."

appeal of it. the amazing thing is, the events of this story, some people remember every second. that pilot could tell you every second of the time he spent with george wright in the cockpit. as you saw in the clip, we have the amazing pictures from the original story that cbs did. >> including the guy in his bathing sult delivering the ransom. >> and lest we not forget the victim's family, how dedicated they were to seeing this to the end. >> and they still are. the thing of it is, there have been two requests for expedition, both of which have been turned down. it's unclear if george wright will ever be sent back here. >> susan spencer, thank you. you can see susan's full report "the hunt for mr. wright" tomorrow night at 10:00, 9:00 central right here on cbs. 50 years ago the "u.s.s. enterprise" was the first of the aircraft carriers.
